I think Futurama would most likely end up on Comedy Central, if Sky drop the rights. They've definitely got something up their sleeves but I don't expect them to divulge with the details anytime soon......

The fact that they're asking about shows that are suitable for a younger audience must be that they are looking at a pre-watershed time table as well. It has to be a channel they are looking at launching.......

The problem with licenses in the UK, is that it's cheaper and less bureaucratic to broadcast from here to mainland Europe, I've always got this sneaking suspicion this could be for a Pan-Scandanavian license or something. Yeah, somebody at Turner has filled in the wrong sheet, as they now...

Or launch it as an 24/7 channel with classic toons from the eightys/ninetys on it during the day time and more risque stuff at night. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/show ... adult+swim The guys on Digitalspy don't seem that convinced it's mobile broadcast renewal, even if they are just...

Sky are going to shuffle some the channel numbers about in Febuary, most notably MTV are now moving to the general entertainment section of the guide. If successful could Turner follow suit?

I can't imagine it being with AXN as Sony must own a fair few licenses anyway, possibly Electric Sofa.

Oh, does he then? Does he know something then or are they keeping their cards close to their chests?

How is Mediaboy for reliabilty? I know that the guys on the Digitalspy forum are rarely wrong on these things as well.

Or they could be getting a few aquisitions under the belt before the finalise the details of the channel.

The fact that Turner took Robot Chicken off the FX when they were apparently quite keen to renew the deal. I go and stick my neck out to say as far that I'm sure Turner are prepping an adult swim or TNT channel.

Yeah, it still doesn't add up. I asked the [as] man on Twitter about television deals and he went oddly quiet, I don't think this is an open and shut case just yet.

I think it would to be honest, what they've got is too thin to launch a stand alone channel, if they are going for the young adult demograph that show fits neatly in there. If this show doesn't get a TV deal in the UK soon, I really think this makes an adult swim UK channel more likely.

This seems to be suspiciously missing a UK tv deal - http://www.tnt.tv/series/fallingskies/ Unusual because shows like this are often snapped up when in pre-production with UK broadcasters.

That would be my logic as well. They denied that they had a deal in place with FX and said it was an advertising deal they had with them. Another question is - if the Venture Bros and Robot Chicken were mostly successful with FX why did they pull them off the air? Are they keeping it for...

They did lie to me about the deal they had with FX. Even worse FX were showing ads and they flat out denied it to me.

The whole mobile thing is bulls**t in my opinion, as far as I know TCLS form only deals with television/radio in a linear form and excludes on demand and mobile television which is something else entirely. Turner were granted a NEW license and it was not renewed, it was granted the same time as...

Turner are doing their up most best to get adult swim on the air and they do care about animation in general. I get that their idea was to create an adult animation channel but unfortunately it appears the UK market isn't quite ready for it but if you follow them on Facebook and Twitter, who...

It didn't fail orginally because of a lack on anime, it failed due to poor scheduling. Adult Swim got quite respectable numbers on FX but once again reasons unknown to myself (IMO, I believe FX and Turner couldn't work out a deal) it left FX. I'm personally optimistic for whatever Sony has...

I do think AXN will air some sort of anime and comedy, they do own the international rights to Blood+ and Boondocks, two adult swim US shows.

Is this some kind of late night programming block in Cartoon Network?
